There's a US metric clothes size standard?? Since when? I'm pretty sure every pair of pants and shirts that I've bought in the last year has been in ye olde inches :).
Although I often wonder in tshirts and regular pull over shirts that just say small medium large etc if those are really metric sizes. Mike On 1/26/07, STANLEY DOORE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks Martin for the reference to the metric clothes size standard proposal for Europe. Does anyone know how this compares with the US metric clothes size standard?

Here's an opportunity to go SI (metric) and help everyone worldwide. Metric clothes size standards (proposals) have been around for decades. Why not adopt them? For example, women's dresses could be 36-22-36 for bust-waist-hips in centimeters. Men's hat sizes are already in cm in Europe. Why not make this worldwide so everyone is on the same standard of size and measurement? These SI numbers will tell consumers what will fit them best since each person has a different shape. One size number does not fit everyone's shape. Regards, Stan Doore
